Athens, Greece 07-03-2013

Aventurine has revealed details for two major new features of Darkfall Unholy Wars. These features involve the new Darkfall Unholy Wars character progression system and salvaging skill.

The new character progression system for Darkfall Unholy Wars is based on Prowess Points. A player’s Prowess is a representation of their accumulated experiences, victories and achievements.  Most interactions with the world reward players with Prowess. Harvesting, crafting, killing monsters, completing feats, participating in capturing villages, and a multitude of other activities, reward players with prowess point. Spending Prowess is the only way for players to improve their attributes, combat, and harvesting skills. 

This new system is important because it rewards players for playing the game, rather than “grinding” repetitive tasks, and it’s a result of player feedback and Aventurine developer interaction with the beta testers.

The salvaging skill is basically the reverse of the crafting skills; it takes a crafted item and breaks it down to the raw materials used in its construction. Salvaging is classified as one of the crafting skills. Salvaging is also a long-time Darkfall player request and it was fully implemented during the beta process.

More information regarding Darkfall Unholy Wars new character progression system and salvaging can be found at www.darkfallonline.com

Darkfall Unholy Wars is available for pre-order through our official website for the price of 14.95 if you are a Darkfall Online returning player or 29.95 (25% off) if you are new to this game. Players who pre-order take advantage of some great benefits: the ability to participate in the closed beta, 30 days of game time when Darkfall Unholy Wars is officially released and the right to reserve their character name. Please visit this link: ams.darkfallonline.com/AMS/ for more details.
